New partner in Beviale Family network: SEA Brew

The Beviale Family is extending its global network in beverage production and welcomes SEA Brew as its official partner with immediate effect. South-East Asia's annual conference and trade fair for the brewing industry is an itinerant event that has already been successfully held four times. The aim of the partnership is to combine the resources of the two established trade fairs and mutually develop new markets. This marketing alliance will allow the Beviale Family to further expand its presence in South-East Asia.

The Southeast Asia Brewers Conference & Trade Fair (SEA Brew) has become established in the South-East Asia region as a professional development event with a concurrent exhibition for brewers and beer distributors. As an itinerant event it has already taken place in Singapore (2015, 2016), Ho Chi Minh City (2017) and Manila (2018). In September 2019 it will be hosted in Bangkok. Its aim is to drive the potential of the evolving Asian beer market and inform brewery owners, brewers and retailers throughout Asia about the latest trends in ingredients, processes and equipment. “This is why SEA Brew is the ideal partner for us in the South-East Asian market,” says Andrea Kalrait, Director Exhibition BrauBeviale and international product manager for the Beviale Family. “We have been monitoring developments locally for some time now and have determined that there is great potential in the beer and brewing segment. In SEA Brew we have found a partner that is very familiar with the realities of the respective markets and also has excellent networks. We are looking forward to working together to develop new target groups.”

Charles Guerrier, founder of SEA Brew, had this to say: “We are excited to partner with the Beviale Family and be part of their global network of international beverage and brewing trade shows. This cooperation will help grow awareness of the opportunities emerging within Asia for both brewers and industry suppliers and help unlock the region’s potential”.

SEA Brew, the annual Southeast Asia Brewers Conference & Trade Fair attracts brewers, distributors and investors from across the Asian region. They come together to exchange ideas and gain insights from global experts into the latest technological innovations in order to keep up with the fast-paced developments of the industry. The conference and attached trade fair was established in 2015 to support the growing demands on both production and distribution in a rapidly developing industry. In line with being a truly regional event, SEA Brew moves to a new host city every year.
